Spring Is Back — And So Are the Bugs: Your Guide to a Cleaner, Healthier Horse This Season

As winter fades and the pastures turn green again, horse owners everywhere are gearing up for longer rides, fresh air, and sunny days in the saddle. But spring also brings back the not-so-welcome return of ticks, flies, and biting insects.

Don’t worry—EQyss has your back. With the right grooming routine and a few trusted products, you can keep your horse clean, conditioned, and pest-free all season long.

Why Spring Grooming Matters More Than Ever

Increased time outside means increased exposure to:

• Mud and allergens

• Drying sun and wind

• Insects like ticks, mosquitoes, and flies

A consistent grooming routine does more than keep your horse looking good—it protects their skin, keeps coats healthy, and helps prevent bug-related irritations and infections.

Our Top Recommended Products for Spring Grooming

Below are EQyss’s go-to products to help you stay ahead of spring’s challenges and keep your horse feeling their best:

Premier Botanical Equine Shampoo

This gentle, botanical-based shampoo cleans deeply without stripping essential oils. It’s ideal for removing winter buildup, sweat, dirt, and allergens, while leaving the coat soft and refreshed.

Premier Equine Coat Conditioner

Our best-selling conditioner helps lock in moisture, prevent breakage, and add a protective layer that defends against dust, dryness, and environmental irritants.

Avocado Mist Equine Conditioning Spray

For a healthy shine and easy detangling, Avocado Mist is your springtime secret weapon. It’s lightweight, non-greasy, and perfect for daily touch-ups that keep manes and tails manageable.

Barn Barrier Natural Fly & Mosquito Repellent

Bugs love spring—but that doesn’t mean they’re welcome. Barn Barrier is your go-to natural repellent to keep flies and mosquitoes away without the use of harsh chemicals. Safe, powerful, and trusted by barns across the country.

Why EQyss Ingredients Stand Out

At EQyss, we believe that what you put on your horse is just as important as what you put in your body. That’s why every formula we create uses only the highest-quality, science-backed ingredients—designed for safety, performance, and long-term coat and skin health.

We avoid harsh chemicals, sulfates, and unnecessary fillers. Instead, we focus on botanical extracts, vitamins, and gentle cleansersthat are effective, non-toxic, and kind to your horse’s skin.
